Located in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, the Olha Kobylianska Theatre is a neobaroque architectural monument built in 1905 by the renowned Austrian architectural bureau Fellner & Helmer. Originally constructed during the Austro-Hungarian period, the theatre became a professional operation in 1940 and was renamed in 1954 after the Ukrainian writer and playwright Olha Kobylianska. Designated as Architectural Heritage of National Importance of Ukraine, it forms part of the European Route of Historic Theatres. The institution serves as an academic regional Ukrainian music and drama theatre, and in 2023 expanded its offerings with a new workshop chamber stage housed in a historic electrical substation on Lesi Ukrainky Street.
